Master Bedroom, Part II

This part II post isn't shaping up to be that great since I cannot locate half the pictures I took. 

Anyways, the inspiration for my bedroom make over is from Rare & Beautiful Treasures. I saw her house on the Poppies at Play Parade of Homes 2010. Her home is amazing. 

Once we put down a new sub floor, we painted a bunch of pre-primed MDF boards for the baseboards and wall treatment.

Brad spent a lot of time working on the board and batten. If I locate the pictures I will add them to the post. Who cares about the in between anyways? If you are like me you just want to see the end result.

Master Bedroom {redo}

Here is the "before" after a minor change. We moved the bed one wall over.

The room turned into a tri-mess with three different colors on the walls. Sadly it was like this for several months. 

We put some blown-in insulation in the floor to help keep the room a little warmer in the winter. 

Here she is ready for the wall treatment. The room is looking so much bigger and brighter. 

Stay tuned for Part II {board and batten treatment}

Old Dresser {Update}

I bought this old dresser a few weeks back. I hardly ever find stuff with as many cute details as this dresser has. I primed it {ever since I inherited a large can of KILZ I prime almost everything}then painted it Blue Hubbard.

Office Chair {updated}

I previously posted about this chair here. I primed, spray painted it white and added a little distressing. Can't wait to use it in my new office. 

PS. My mom helped me sew the blue and white pillow case from IKEA kitchen towels. I love cabana stripe prints!

Curbside Pick Up

My sister, Allison, found some free stuff while perusing the streets of Springville. She called me and I was in my truck 2 minutes later.

She graciously let me keep this desk. I even paid the owner $10 because I liked it so much and I was planning on going to the DI that day anyways. 

I am working on painting it my favorite color-of-the-minute: 

Finished pictures to come.

Tissue Paper Flower Arrangement

I etched a bird design onto a yard sale vase for my mom's Mother's Day gift. I needed something to put in it and I opted for something that would last longer than fresh cut flowers.

I did a Google search for paper flowers and found a tutorial at Zakka Life to make tissue paper flowers. I used pale pink tissue paper, glue sticks and branches from my house. 

 Look close and you can see the etched bird. 

sheet music, lace and a potato sack

What do all these things have in common? Not much except they were all for sale throughout Springville on Saturday. 

 Not sure what i am going to do with the sack and lace but I think I am going to make a wreath with the music. 

etching

I finally broke down and bought a Silhouette cutting machine. My first project was etching, so I bought some etching cream and vinyl. My first two attempts were sub par-the etching wasn't very noticeable. Not to worry because while running errands I saw a few yard sales and couldn't help but stop. 

I found these vases for $1.50 

. 

I decided to make a "treat" jar

  

I find glass so difficult to take a picture of

but you get the idea {i hope}

I hope the person I made this for likes it!
